Claygate Rangers

From Claygate

A BUSY WINTER FOR GUIDE GROUP

1st Claygate Rainbows (aged four to seven) have been bird watching and making fat balls to keep the birds well fed as part of their Snow Adventure Badge. They also donated some of their books and toys to a charity shop, which goes towards winning their Helper Badge.

1st Claygate Brownies (aged seven to 10) made winter dioramas and played curling and ice hockey in the Girlguiding Hall as part of the Brownies Snow Adventure Badge. And the group congratulated Charlo􀀩e, who earned her Brownies Gold Award – a fantastic achievement!

With bandages at the ready, 4th Claygate Brownies took their First Aid Badge and experimented with making things fly as part of their Aviation Badge. They’ve recently completed a Welsh themed Languages Badge, learning songs, making Welsh Cakes, and decorating love spoons.

The older girls in 1st Claygate and 3rd Claygate Guides (aged 10 to 14) have also been studying First Aid, and created mocktails, which they served to the Rangers. They also celebrated Chinese New Year, and baked “Anzac Cookies” for Australia Day.

Claygate Rangers (aged 14 to 18) joined the Brownies and Guides for ice skating at Hampton Court and organised Santa’s Grotto at the Claygate Christmas Lights event.
